Trump winning this, now Boehner can tell the truth

Golf Cart Mafia Consigliere Posts: 3145 **4/28/16 10:34 am**

That Trump IS an insider, has been all along, and that he (Boehner and other establishment guys), love both Republicans AND Democrats as long as they go along to get along (see the link). Boehner now says Trump is a friend/golf-buddy/texting-buddy and that he will vote for him. Hates Cruz (the guy who called out the establishment liars).
Proving everyone just voting based on the loudest mouth, substance doesn't mean anything to them.

You guys who voted for Trump because he was anti establishment can wake up now. Spin it all you want. Here, I'll help

I think the truth is - everyone that works with him hates Cruz.

I don't see it on TV - but that opinion of Cruz seems to be universal.

Except for Carly.

Why do people hate Cruz? Is it because he is conservative? Is he a true jerk? Although I'm not thrilled by any of the candidates, I'd have to say he would be the one I prefer because of his conservatism, but I can't say I "like" him, just I like that he is conservative. It doesn't mean I don't like him either.

I'm just curious as to the reasons, except for philosophical. If it is because he is rocking the Republican establishment, I have no problem with that. If he is indeed a jerk, I would like to know that. The biggest impact that could have on me is if he is also a jerk, it would reduce his effectiveness even more. If it is because he is just telling the truth, then so be it.

I am a conservative far more than I am a Republican. I'm sick of the caving in of Republican's and Republican's unwillingness to reduce spending either. It is simply a matter that they spend money in other areas than the Demo's.

Personally, I do wish Bernie would win the Demo nomination simply because it would be the first time in 75 years that the demo's would be running an honest campaign of who they really are. At least Bernie is honest about it!

People hate Ted Cruz for one of 4 reasons.

1. They think he's ugly (seriously, I've seen that reason several times)
2. He is ultra-conservative and they are not
3. They hear Donald Trump's campaign call him a liar when he points out what Trump actually said or did ("Lyin' Ted"), and believe him (proving they only listen to talking points and have done zero research on Cruz's many accomplishments).
4. They are a corrupt politician whom Ted Cruz has called on the carpet.

But like has been said, this is pretty much over. Trump gets the nomination. Good luck to the GOP, they're going to need it. It will be a miracle if they can even hold on to the house. The senate is toast, there will be 3 new left-wing justices on the SC. We will mirror France in 4 years.

They probably hate him because he was willing to shut the government down over defunding Obamacare.

If his motivation for that was to oppose abortion funding, is that a bad thing?

No one has a substantial reason to hate Cruz. It's personal with them. He doesn't play the games, he does what he says he'll do.

I hope Cruz wins because he most closely aligns with my conservative values. I think he has little chance of winning the nomination and even less of beating Hillary in the general election. He made the late night talk show circuit rounds a while back and it is clear he has a very very low likability factor, even when he lets his hair down.

I think UncleJD makes a valid point. Although I think it's poor criteria for choosing a POTUS, there is something to be said about appearance. People just don't like the way Ted looks. I know why he did it, but I think choosing Carly as a running mate was also a poor decision. People do now view her in a positive light either.

I like Cruz'politics. But I still feel he is not electable as the candidate. The point DaSheik makes is valid, my opinion also, he comes across as unlikable.
Also the CArly move was ill advised.

I am not sure any GOP dude can beat Hillary, but I sure hope so!~ Confused

do you really think Trump is electable? Seriously? A cartoon? A guy who runs in the single digits among minorities and women alike? Its a crazy, crazy world so maybe we'll have a crazy election and he'll win. I consider myself a political buff and I can definitely see this is a crazy, unpredictable year, but I firmly believe the craziness is just on the extremes of both sides of the political fence. We have a demagogue getting through with the old white men on the right, and a socialist nearly doing the same thing on the left (and his mere presence in the race has pulled the already leftist party even further to the left). As strange as this year is, it is still the middle of the pack who has to vote to actually win in November. Can Trump do that? I doubt it.[/list]

Not sure why no one ever asks themselves the electability question about Hillary.

Do you really think Hillary is electable?
Do you really think Trump is electable?

The answer is no to both.
Yet one of them will be President in a few months.

Hillary was skunked by a 2 yr senator who had been a social worker in Chicago. She is having trouble with a 80 yr old socialist this time.

Trump is, well, Trump.

Yet one of them will be President in a few months.

The world must think we are lunatics.

Jeb Bush, Carson, Huckabee, Jindal - all looked like serious minded candidates that would garner respect. Alas, the U S electorate had other ideas.

Clinton / Trump.
One of them will be President in a few months.

I think Cruz does have a likability problem. But so does Hillary. For me, Hillary has a bigger likability problem. But maybe that's just the feel I get from listening to her, and I don't like her politics or the words that come out of her mouth. It's not just the thrill voice and delivery. It's hard for me to parse out which part I don't like. Maybe Cruz is just as unlikable to those in the middle as Cruz, or he could have a bigger problem.

Cruz would be the first Hispanic president if he were elected. Hillary Clinton would be the first woman. There are more women in the electorate than Hispanics in this country.

And Cruz is far enough behind Trump that it seems to be a moot point anyway.
